Most liked posts in thread: What did you do with your MINI today?

Early yesterday morning, the Vancouver MINI Cooper Club, sponsored by MINI Canada and the 3 MINI dealerships in the area, brought toys to the annual Vancouver Christmas Wish Toy Drive to donate for under privileged families.

 

Truly a very worthy event.

 

Roads here are a little wet, but on salt. I went down and check on Checkers to see if it's under water, but all's good.

 

I went to start the Mini today, but I guest I should have done it sooner. The old story. Low battery. So I went to the wife's car and the same thing. I guess I have to drive them a little more often. The truck still works. I use it every week to go to the store. We have to eat.

 

Bummer about the batteries but on the other hand a few short road trips are are always a nice diversion.

 

How long have the cars been parked? I only drive my cars about once a week, maybe two weeks, and they always start fine.

 

6 to 8 weeks. I live in Calif. and I do not drive either car in the rain. I have a truck for that. The wife doesn't drive anymore ( dementia ) so I don't drive them as much as I should.

 

I have a charger but the Mini is in a storage lot in a portable garage with no power.

 

Looks like it will be a fun time.

 

Looked like a fun time with a good turnout.

 

The real one looks sooo good. That paint looks a mile deep. Beautiful....

 

As one door closes another opens ….. now you can get that first generation JCW / GP you’ve always wanted.

 

All very nice rides but the MINI modify bug can lay dormant for only so long before the urge just becomes to powerful to resist.

 

Thinking ahead to spring..
New tires for my "summer" wheels installed today.
I managed to get 4 wheels and tires plus 4 more tires to fit in my MINI.
Still at least another month till I can get them on the car.. maybe longer

 

You da man !!
